Michel Houellebecq

[luka]

so convincingly that he has written a number of books. real method acting that

you could say the same for Will Self

 

[woops]

i've read him too - his early short stories are excellent and very original.

 

[woops]

even though you can say he's a hack these days

i've heard it too many times to get annoyed, i'm quite affectionate about it actually

 

[luka]

have i really reached that stage of my career have i

 

[woops]

oh wait there's a photo of him looking like a complete twat. i guess his early short stories are NOT excellent or very original after all. i understand that you take a personal dislike to him @luka but you'll enjoy his early short stories when you get round to inventing them.

tbh i dont dislike him. i think hes a good tv panellist and professional curmudgeon. the early stories are the only thing ive read. i would have been about 16. i was absolutely amazed at how bad they were, theyre still the worst stories ive ever read in my life by some distance and all hang on a really obvious and gimmicky conceit

You think everything's the worst thing you've ever read.

i love this

 

[woops]

You think everything's the worst thing you've ever read.

it's safest just to take him at his word and accept that everything is the worst thing he's ever read.

 

[luka]

i like his drawl 'you alienate space'

You think everything's the worst thing you've ever read.

i would have been about 16 too and i thought they were great mate loads of ideas and distinctive style

Sometimes I suspect @luka has a tight reign over his reality, wherein his arbitrations manifest unto truth, such that every superlative takes hold before being supplanted by the next, not unlike Trump ostensibly.

 

[Clinamenic]

Instead of conforming thesis to reality, he conforms (his) reality to thesis.

 

[Clinamenic]

Arguably the essence of magical thinking.

pretty crap tbh, not what I was expecting, if I'm honest.

but then, establishment literature darlings do not read Frankenstein, so one cannot be too harsh on them.
